This is a very thought provoking graphic from @Donna_UWS_STMW which highlights the competing concerns our student nurses and midwives are dealing with whilst on placement. Yet they still smile, still learn and still contribute to quality care 💙 @NHSG_PEFs @RGUNMandP
I wish I was a nurse. They are amazing. How do people do what they do and see what they see and still keep smiling?
Right now "I'm a nurse" has got to be the coolest thing anyone can say
First day of module #CHN602, really interesting discussion about the roles we can go into as qualified nurses. Learning all about the different ways community professionals support children and the family. Also seeing the realistic side to zoom. Picture below depicts it well 😆
HDS this morning for #CHN601 is all about sepsis. I have found the RCPCH resources so informative and are simple too follow. I really recommend having a look if you want to gain further knowledge on the topic. @RCPCHtweets@PUNC14
My Twitter is feeling a bit dusty. But just wanted to tweet to express my gratitude toward the #NRS601 team. I have found they are trying to find every way to support us with this assignment and it is appreciated! 😁
@WeNurses Depending on the severity and your confidence I think you should speak to the individual. As you would with another member of staff they are still able to listen and to understand your concern. However some situations may require a different method
@WeNurses Hierarchy always has a slight impact on how we react i believe. I think we sometimes forget that even though an individual may be more senior does not mean they don’t make mistakes or that you have stronger knowledge in an area
@WeNurses We are there to care for our patients ensuring they receive the best care possible and if we believe they are not receiving this it is our duty to speak up for our patients
@WeNurses Sitting with patients and going through leaflets can be helpful as they can ask questions and make notes to remember things easier. However some patients views don’t fit with the advice so may disagree
@WeNurses For some health conditions we provide advice and information sheets I believe some also provide links to other resources that they can access, this means the information we use in these leaflets and the resources we recommend must be reliable
@WeNurses My first thought is information that has been backed up by evidence, such as a piece of literature that has multiple resources and evidence to back up the reasearch they are conducting and the results they got @WeNurses@Healthinfoweek
@WeNurses Family-centred care is also crucial, a patient had just been diagnosed with diabetes they were young and the nurse had been administering his insulin and mum had been watching. We then encouraged and empower the mother even though scared to complete the next preception herself.
